@graememilne

Just discovered your program the other day,which i think is fantastic.
Wish I had known about this years ago.

The web page mentions this below

 --- IMPORTANT! -----------------------------------------------
   • All times shown are in the timezone of your computer!
   • Do not attempt to run these queries in rapid succession,
     as your IP might get blocked by the API providers.
 --------------------------------------------------------------

This works fine if looking for info in the country you are in, UK. But when looking for info from an airport in a different country, I noticed this.

In Sched, ETA it gives the local time in the country you are in UK, but Status gives the correct time in the country you are looking for info on airport in for example: Amsterdam, Schiphol, AMS.

I notice in the To do list from 2018:

Add "-t" CLI flag for time-zone (TZ) times used for API vs. local airport TZ.

  • Does this mean when looking for airport info in another country, the above will show correct times for that airport?

For example I am in the UK, and I want to see info from ./arrivals.py -t AMS.

  • The Sched, ETA will show the correct times for AMS instead of my local time?

If so, what is the time line for implementing this important feature.
Hope you can implement this sooner than later?
